About Cord feet
A cord foot = 1/8 cord: a stack of firewood 4 ft wide × 4 ft tall × 1 ft deep = 16 ft³ = 0.45307 m³. Used in New England pulpwood purchasing and regulated by NIST Handbook 44. Actual solid wood content is only 60-80% of the nominal volume - the rest is air space between logs. 1 cord foot = 16 ft³ = 0.45307 m³ = 1/8 cord.
About Cubic yards
The cubic yard (yd³) = 27 ft³ = 0.764554857984 m³ (exact). Standard unit for bulk wood by-products in North America: landscaping bark mulch ~$25-70/yd³, wood chips for biomass boilers, timber crib-wall volumes. Typical residential mulch job: 5-15 yd³. Arborist chips ≈ 180-200 lb/yd³ fresh. 1 yd³ = 27 ft³ = 0.7646 m³ ≈ 324 bf.
